No, hes right guys, this is an original...back in the late 60's/early 70's "standards" (now) was spelled "standerds" back then...if I were you all I'd throw that $500 down right now, before it's too late!!!

Fake or otherwise it is interesting to note that the one for the Corvette is currently more than twice the price of the one for the Olds even thought they are the exact same sticker

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...sPageName=WDVW

I guess it just proves that once someone puts the words Corvette before the item description it is worth more money.

Works for sport mirrors, too. I can't find any difference between the Corvette versions and the ones used on 3/4 of the GM car line.

Yeah, the ones for el caminos and such are dirt cheap, are they the same? (never found a set to check it, if they are the same I smell money)

I figured that the sticker was another one of IOU-1's marvelous auctions, but I was wrong.

Has anyone ever dealt with Mr. IOU-1 on Ebay. I have never heard anyone hype an item like him. I always love his copy which frequently advises his potential buyers that, "if they were intelligent" they would buy said item for some overblown price. I've been looking for some original lint for the ol 81, I keep hoping he lists it for under a grand.

STW! Platato

Sort of like those bad translations you get in e-mail. I bet the sticker reads "Made in Taiwan" on the back.

Wow- that sticker is in great shape! Why don't you carefully pry off the door, discard it, and sell the sticker!

One of the major corvette aftermarket parts companies sells correct blue reproductions for $3.00. And yes, they have the correct spelling.
Instead of bidding on e-bay for an incorrect one, just order one for $3.00!
